Young Adults

The Young Adults Ministry at FRC is designed with those between the ages of 18-25 in mind. The ministry exists as a conduit for involvement in the church. The goal is to get every young adult participating in three key components of the discipleship process within the life of the church: worship, grow and serve. 

As young adults seek to find their role in life and in the church, the Young Adults Ministry provides opportunities to aid in that process.

College Graduate recognition Services | Sunday, May 17

• 8:30A Worship Service – Please attend this service

  • During the 8:30A Service, you will be invited to the front while information is being shared about you (based upon your survey responses). I ask that you stay on stage as each graduate is called up. Once all graduates are on the stage, our leaders and congregants will pray over you. 

• 10:30A Worship Service – Attendance optional

  • During the 10:30A service, instead of having you come on stage again, we will have a graduate video played. This will be a compilation of your survey responses. 

  • Both morning services will include graduate testimonies, prayer for the graduates, and a 2026 Graduate Bulletin, with all our graduates’ pictures and details (from your survey responses).

• Celebratory Cake in-between the Morning Worship Services (9:40-10:20A)

  • The congregation will be invited to interact with you while enjoying cake during an informal reception in the Lobby. 

We need your help to do this well. There is a short survey below. Please complete it by Sunday, May 3.

On May 17, please wear your gown (caps not required) and meet in the Youth Room at 8:00A. We will walk in together at 8:30A and sit in the front. Please make every effort to be present. If you are unable to attend, please still complete the survey so we can honor your graduation together

Bible Study: John’s Epistles

Cross Con 2027

December 30, 2026 - January 2, 2027

Join us as we travel to CrossCon27 and ring in the New Year with thousands of other young adults. Over three days, we will worship, sit under faithful preaching, and grow in our knowledge and love for the Lord.

The theme for this year is “This Day, That Day.” Scripture reminds us that we are given this day as a gift from God, yet we all move toward that day when we will stand before Him. Throughout the conference, we will wrestle with what it means to live faithfully now in light of eternity. If Christ truly is Lord and eternity is real, then every day matters and every life can count for His glory.

Cost:
• $300 if a $100 deposit is paid before April 1
• $350 if registering after April 1

Secret Church

Friday, May 1. 6:00P-Midnight

Join us for Secret Church, a unique evening of deep Bible study and prayer for Unreached People Groupsled by David Platt. Together, we will spend six hours walking through the life and ministry of Elijah, exploring how God worked through him in times of spiritual compromise and what his story teaches us about faithful obedience today.

This is a focused night designed to help us slow down, dig deeply into Scripture, grow in our understanding of God’s Word, and passionately pray for the persecuted Church.

Cost: Free (registration required)
Food: Dinner and snacks will be provided during the evening.

Come ready to learn, be challenged, and spend extended time in God’s Word and prayer.
